Chelsea Fans told deal for top-class defender is close to being announced

Chelsea are highly likely to miss out on Barcelona star Ronald Araujo ahead of the summer transfer window, after his agent make some big news

He is out of contract in the summer of 2023 and it has been believed that if Barcelona cannot agree a new contract with the defender – then they would like to see him leave for a fee in the summer rather than nothing next year

That has led to alot of reports in the media which have suggested that Thomas Tuchel would like to take him to Stamford Bridge – as he will need to sign an immediate replacement for the departing Antonio Rudiger

However, amid all the speculation, it seems Araujo is close to signing a new contract with Barca, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has claimed that an agreement with Barcelona is close

His agent said: “The agreement to extend the contract is now really close.

“We’ve very good feelings – just final details are missing, it could be matter of days”

Most fans are not worried about the type of players that will be signed in the transfer window as the club always buy big. Right now they are more concerned about who will be buying the club

Araujo is a classy defender that we would have loved to make the move to the club and sign, but at the end of the day, he is not the only player that we are looking at

There will be other targets on the window, so we are sure that Chelsea will not be too disappointed at this news
